**Duration**. It is possible to finish Core CS within about 2 years if you plan carefully and devote roughly 18-22 hours/week to your studies.
Courses in Core CS should be taken linearly if possible, but since a perfectly linear progression is rarely possible,
each class's prerequisites are specified so that you can design a logical but non-linear progression
based on the class schedules and your own life plans.
**Duration**. It is possible to finish within about 2 years if you plan carefully and devote roughly 20 hours/week to your studies. Learners can use [this spreadsheet](https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1bkUU90y4rKYQHwY5AR2iX6iiPTrPEsYs75GkCAkrgm4/edit#gid=1428855662) to estimate their end date. If you make a personal copy you can enter your actual course completion dates in the `Curriculum Data` sheet and get updated completion estimates.
**Cost**. All or nearly all course material is available for free. However, some courses may charge money for assignments/tests/projects to be graded.
